They are not waterproof. I have seen videos of them crashing into puddles, and creaks and still working but not completely submerged. I myself fly mine over the water alot, chasing my boat, and I assume if its lands in the river its a DONE. i use a timer to make sure i get it back to me before battery dies.

The done is not waterproof If you check around there are companies waterproofing the drone for a fee.

I don't know for sure either way but I really doubt it is water resistant or water proof. I would contact the manufacturer support to be certain.

It is water resistant, but not water proof. It has an open USB port that has a plug...that will easily let water into the device if submerged. It would not survive jumping into the lake...but probably would survive a sprinkler or rain as it is located under the neck with the collar clamp.

outdoors...but to be honest...don't buy it...I ordered one, it was defective...would fly a few seconds, then drop like a rock...I returned, ordered another, same thing...I googled it, and seems to be a manufactor's flaw...i returned it and ordered a different copter...buy at your own risk! I hate that it was defective, because the copter really does look awesome, and you might get a good one...it's up to you!

Yes the transmitter is waterproof at least according to website and instructions. The receiver is also waterproof and no problems with it after being in the lake many times.

This drones very easy to fly. As for flights over water the range of the Drone is approximately 50 meters (without modifying the Drone or setting up a router) so be careful. If you send a command to the Drone and loose your control connection it may fly away.If the Drone gets wet all of its electrical components will die, but on another note it is pretty easy to repair.

We are in the marine industry building barges and Tug boat and they are exposed to moisture a lot and occasionally get slightly submerged in water (appears to be water resistant), but I don't know if they are water proof... Suggest checking with Manufacturer

I would only say that if it gets wet in a little rain you should be OK. If you drop it in the lake I wouldn't hold my breath.

The case is a very well made they don't claim water proof, but it is sealed like a pelican case and vented. I weigh 235lbs and stood on my case to see how tuff it was and it held up great! Here is a link to manufacture website for a little more info, http://www.goprocases.com/xb-dji-fpv.aspx

The official word from the manufacture is "water tight". I wouldn't drop it in the lake just for fun, but holds up to nasty weather just fine.

i can't really say if it's water proof because I've never immersed it in anything wet. It's been dropped many times though and has come through unbroken and with no operating issues.

Supposed ly it's water proof....my kids have driven them in the snow alot and no problems.....we have 4 of them......might want to order an extra servo.....they go out.....they are 15 dollars..but you can buy one with metal gears for 20

Honestly I'm not sure. I've got it on a fresh-water lake. The mechanism underneath is a steel bar with plastic paddles and plastic rudder, so it may work alright in salt water if you take it out after use and oil the steel parts periodically.

NOO. It's water resistant but if you plan on doing that...you need to go with a Life Proof case. Two VERY different things!

The range of flight is pretty much the same as how far you can see the quad copter. I know because this is the seccond one I have had. The first one just dropped out of the sky and into the lake. If you can't afford to lose it, don't buy it, because DJI will not replace it....I fraught and fraught with Dji and the bad craft, but they don't replace the units at all.

Don't know because the fans did not work when I got it! I went to my local hobby shop and replaced them with some good brushless ones that are water resistant! I try not to go through to deep of water!

I agree with 'water resistant'. Looks like both of them can take a splash or light rain but I wouldn't 'submerge' the controller, or install the receiver were a lot of road mist or natural rain would hit it constantly.As others have stated, a little silicone will seal the ends of the receiver heat shrink better. If you leave the controller out in the rain, well, bad on you... :)
